teen TV & the extinction of the tween - Video

Shanspeare's video on social media and tweens: "12 going on 21: The End of the Tween Era" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY1b3-8IEac&feature=youtu.be

euphoria, gossip girl (original and reboot), skins, riverdale, chilling adventures of sabrina.. so many teen shows fall victim to the same tropes and fail their younger audiences. from casting adult actors to portraying wildly unrealistic and ungrounded teen experiences, it seems like there are no shows nowadays that actually cater to the audience they claim to.
